<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Planning ahead for springtime painting here.
What are the preparation steps needed to paint the composite material that is
used for the Piedmont Temptation? I'm planning on using PPG paint from
Tony. I've used it a number of times on fiberglass with good results, but
I am wondering about whether any primer is advisable, at least over seams where
I have to do some putty work. </FONT></DIV>

what's the best epoxy to use for bonding high stress parts inside that
fuselage?</FONT></DIV>
